Balls + Heater = Low hanging fruit

"@SteveReedAP: Panthers say they have "no comment" on Patriots allegations they and the Vikings put balls in front of heaters during away game in 2014."

My question is who doesn't put their balls in front of the heater while in Minnesota? Have you not seen what a MN winter can do to the twig and berries?

A warm ball would only stay warm for a minute or two in those temps and both teams were doing it.

Every pun is fully intended.

4 hours until beer time. Woot!

Every time I see this I wonder what it is exactly that people don't get. Both teams did it. Both teams warned during the game. Both teams stopped. No cover up. No desire to flout the rules.

If teams need to be punished fine. But to connect the two as pretty much the same thing is irresponsible in my mind. Trying to be objective and not a homer.

Also...picture is accurate. Twigs and berries are in danger. Do something before it's too late. Think of the children!

    • I really think Bryce has been given so much time due to what they've put around him. In a vacuum, he hasn't been good enough. But I think we tend to be overly judgemental with him because he's our QB. Every fan base does it. You see every mistake, not just the highlights/lowlights. I've listened to Cowboys fans crap on Dak and Ravens fans crap on Lamar.  How many WRs from Bryce's rookie season are still making plays today? Probably a few starting olinemen from that year are out of the league too. Hell even his HC is out of the NFL and his OC is a TE coach right now. How many WRs from last season, Bryce's second year (other than the rookies) are making plays in the NFL today? And now in his third year, he's been passing to rookies and second year players. And the only one that was highly touted was TMac. Heck Coker wasn't even drafted, and he's easily been the second best receiver on the team. And let's not even get started on how bad the defense has been. When a team is constantly playing from behind, and/or being ran off the field (time of possession), it greatly impacts the offense's chemistry and playcalling. Look at the young QBs that are playing well right now. All of those teams have great defenses. Houston, Denver, Patriots, Cleveland, even the Saints defense has been on a bit of a tear recently.  I agree he needs to be more consistent. But to be fair, so does his supporting cast. He had some horrible fumbles early in the season. I beat him up over that just like everyone else. But we wouldn't have said that if it was Stafford. We would have rightly blamed it on the oline for allowing jail breaks when they weren't even outnumbered on blitzes, and to top it off he was throwing to a bunch of young receivers. He killed teams for blitzing him the end of last season. I don't think he forgot what to do. I think his receivers didn't know what to do. They were all young and new, other than XL, and DCs exploited that. The team is developing right now. And amazingly Bryce is playing better. Funny how that works. Let's just enjoy the ride and see where it takes us. Getting there is half the fun, and the team is actually ahead of schedule.
